Grumman-Bethpage Airport (abandoned)

This is the site of the former Grumman-Bethpage Airport, the test facility for Grumman Aerospace in the Cold War era. It was abandoned in the early 1990s and is now the site of a Home Depot, although part of the 5400 foot runway still remains.

Interestingly, the resolution at which the images of this abandoned airfield (and other airfields in the Long Island area) is rendered at is far lower than that of the surrounding area. One wonders why.
